Most entertaining bucks draft in a while.

Welcome home Tobias Harris.

So basically a young, athletic version of Joe Ingles who can't shoot?

FWIW he averaged 14/7 his final season of high school on 55.9% TS% (and 29% from 3)

He's 19, given a year of development then plug him in

Man. Not seeing it with this dude. Hope I’m wrong. If he could grow another 2 inches and be a small ball 5, we might have something.

We need rebounding but we need shooting and playmaking more.

2-ways are pretty good money now. And every team gets 3 of them.

The audacity of Klutch to leak that Livingston went 58th ON PURPOSE

Strong, switchy, nice foundation for a quality role player. Like Horst's direction tonight.

ESPN mockdraft had him going to the wizards at #52

https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/37873455/2023-nba-mock-draft-latest-predictions-all-58-picks

So he was on some people's radar.

A couple mocks have him going in the late 40's.

Lebron James connection?

Also..he's a first current bucks MOVIE STAR. (Giannis and Thanasis had a movie about themselves....but weren't in the movie)

The King wanted the best Akron-born player since himself to take on the challenge of the big screen. Livingston was cast as the high school “rival” of James in an upcoming biopic titled Shooting Stars that covers James’ early life growing up in Akron.

“It’s called Shooting Stars. I’m playing one of the better players that LeBron played in his early childhood in high school,” Livingston said. “My freshmen year I went to play for Buchtel High School. LeBron went to (St.) Vincent-St. Mary’s. They’re two rivals so I’m playing the player on the other high school.”

Shooting Stars looks terrible. Shouldn't have drafted him.

Middleton was in the Adam Sandler movie wasn’t he?

Livingston was the most interesting pre-draft guy just in terms of how they handled the process. The whole time it felt like he was a guy that should be fighting to get selected anywhere in the draft and then he bailed on the NBA Combine scrimmages and everyone was arching their eye brows trying to find out what was going on there. Then he cancelled all the draft workouts too and people were trying to figure out who would have promised him/why they would have promised him.

Honestly shocked that it seems he was hellbent on the Bucks at 58.

He never wowed me in high school and was obviously a pretty major disappointment in college, but he was highly touted nonetheless.

If anyone wants to watch him and Syracuse's Judah Mintz get their asses handed to them by Montverde (led by Dariq Whitehead and Jalen Hood-Schifino, but probably features several NBA prospects as I think they had 7 or 8 top 30 recruits at the time), here you go.
